Publishing in May. In this new book – a companion piece to the

and Paula Manalo have assembled a wide range of stories that instruct
as they inspire. With topics including financing, family, logistics,
machinery, community building, and social change, Greenhorns
helps young and aspiring farmers navigate career paths, build skills,
and connect with each other while growing self-sufficient enterprises
with conviction, vision, and respect for the earth. Filled with advice,
anecdotes, and stories of life lessons learned, Greenhorns
is a must-read not only for new farmers, but also for self-reliance
enthusiasts and anyone interested in organic, locally grown food.
